My dog has aggression issues (dog to dog, territorial, leash, and dominance). Basically the full package of not great things. After Ryan came for just ONE session, seriously, my dog was walking on a leash perfectly without any pulling, and walking around my house with a 3 month old puppy, another 9 year old lab, and a cat without giving them any notice at all. She no longer was growling, barking, or attempting to bite the other dogs. This was after just ONE session. We still have some work to go, and will schedule a few more sessions, but Ryan gave us practical ways of managing and teaching the dog, rather than just the typical "sit stay and down". I learned how to handle stuff that was actually an issue, and IT WORKS. Super professional, friendly, and completely non-judgemental of whatever you have previously been doing to teach your dog. Highly recommend him to anyone, especially if your dog has any form of aggression or disobedience issues.

I used Canine Dominion to help me with my aggressive dog. My dog would go after other animals and sometimes people. Jauvarie the owner took a special interest in my case and came out to help. When the lessons was over my dog was a completely different dog. Jauvarie's knowledge and skills are amazing. I would definitely reomment him to my friends.

Tristan is so great with our dogs! When the time for their walk with Tristan is near, they sit attentively and wait for hi to come. He's also firm but relaxed, which I makes him a good leader. That's key for us, because ONE of our guys thinks he's the boss! We've never had a dog walking service before, and Tristan was our first and will be our only, for as long as we can have him :) You can trust them with your woofies!

I returned to my home in Virginia after having been out West for a few years, caring for my parents. Upon my return, I learned that my closest friend had just weeks to live. She wanted me to be with her. At the same time, my little 18 month old dog was not well. We still didn't know exactly what was wrong, but with increasing frequency, she had severe bleeding out of both ends! It turned out to be a serious autoimmune disorder, and she must receive pretty close attention because symptoms are subtle until it is a life-threatening emergency. I was torn, knowing that my friend had two cats and I couldn't take my dog with me. She requires medications and a special, home cooked diet. I placed a notice for an emergency, 24-hour pet sitter who could take my dog in their home, because she wasn't well enough to be alone. I received many responses. I chose Nikki partly because of the caring message she left me, and I was impressed with her medical background. Upon meeting Nikki, I felt reassured, and appreciated her directness and honesty. I felt very little trepidation about leaving my little dog in her care for what could have been a few weeks. Finding Nikki was a gift. Trusting her with my little dog came easy by the second day. She always made time to talk with me when I called to check on my pup, and the details she told me helped me to know that she was keeping a close watch on the little one. Her love for animals is very apparent, and she notices everything. Nikki has, on several occasions, taken my dog into their home on very short notice, and on other occasions, has kept her a day or two longer than planned, again without prior notice. (A couple of times, my home cooked meals for the dog ran out, and Nikki cooked up a batch without being asked.) Nikki is very knowledgeable concerning medical issues and treatments, and I NEVER worry when my dog is with her. My pup enjoys every second with Nikki and her family, and it's a special treat for her to go there. She is well socialized during those visits, with Nikki's family and seven pets, with neighbors and friends, and with other pets that Nikki sometimes has at her home. I have gifted my dog with a 24-hour stay at Nikki's home on quite a few occasions, even when I didn't need a pet sitter! Nikki has far exceeded my expectations of a pet sitter, and I've always received from her so much more than my money's worth. I highly, highly recommend Nikki. She is skilled, patient, reliable, honest and caring; she notices every detail, and she LOVES animals! I'm so thankful to have found her.

I strongly recommend Cupid Pets for walking/boarding your pets.
After I found Cupid Pets, I do not hesitate taking short or long vacations because I know my dog will always be in good hands.
Kimberly, the owner, and her helpers are all reliable and trustworthy. They love what they do and are very caring.

I couldn't be happier with the training that we've received from Social Tailwaggers. Jodie, our trainer. is so patient and very knowledgeable. The first time we met, we discussed what training I was interested in and what goals we were trying to achieve for my dog, Cooper. Cooper was around 10-11 months old when we began our first training session. She immediately began to introduce new skills and commands to work on training Cooper. After each lesson, Jodie sends a detailed email outlining all of the skills we worked on and suggestions to help with practicing on my own. Jodie was also helpful with recommendations on types of toys and feeding bowls to help with the energy level of my dog. I would highly recommend Social Tailwaggers to anyone who needs help training a new puppy or an older dog. It is well worth the time, money and effort to have a well trained dog and not only are you going to have a well trained, better behaved dog, it's also a lot of fun time spent with your dog.

Our rescue dog Flynn recently graduated from Haywood's training academy. Haywood and his team of trainers are the best -- they worked with us (and Flynn) over many weeks to help resolve all of the issues we were having, such as nipping, jumping, and problems with crate training. Flynn is much better behaved now, and our family is much happier!

We were VERY happy with Kim's dog sitting services! Kim took absolutely great care of our Pomsky and our Great Dane and sent us pictures every time she visited our house. She is responsible, punctual and our dogs love her!

My daughter took riding lessons from Nancy for about 7 years and loved it! She genuinely cares about horses and kids and did a great job teaching riding technique and how to care for the horses; from head to hoof. She made the lessons lots of fun!

We could not have asked for a more attentive, caring, person to watch our fur babies, our dog, cat and guinea pig. She gave them plenty of attention. I highly recommend Debbie to take care of your pets. We will definitely be asking for Debbie's services in the future.

After enrolling my dog in a group class and being told to "try again when she's older" I decided to hire Kevin to do private training sessions with my dog Winnie. In the few weeks we worked with him we saw a great improvement in our dog. She is able to do several commands, began to do some agility training and is more focused. Kevin was patient and very knowledgeable about dogs. Would definitely recommend!

We were overwhelmed by the kindness and care DogTown put into our pups stay. The property is well set up for a young powerful dog like our boxer to run his legs off and equally accommodating for our aged bichon. Both dogs returned in a super happy and healthy state. Our drop off and pick up times were not the most convenient hour for any host but DogTowns's super hero hostess Sharon was so totally accommodating. She is also super knowledgeable about both our breeds and had terrific advice in general. We really loved the experience. We live in downtown dc and have tried many locations around the DC but don't ever expect to use another. It is DogToen for us from now on.

Gray is dedicated, knowledgeable, and very trustworthy. Being a vet and having an older dog with a few chronic medical concerns, it was really important to leave her with someone I trust completely. Gray has never let me down and I know my dog is always in good hands with her. It's always comforting when Kota is excited to arrive at Gray's house for the weekend. I'd highly recommend her.
